AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese
Over one million infants are born to HIV-1-infected women every year in Sub Saharan Africa. In Zimbabwe, annual births stand at 379,000 with approximately 48,000 infants being born every year to HIV-1-infected women on lifelong highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Concerns have been
This is a cross-sectional study of adults with diabetes to determine the association of cystatin C with bone mineral density(BMD). All the inpatient in the department of endocrinology and metabolism in the fifth affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University will be screened for 5 to 6 months. Those
Ubiquitous glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency (G6PC3) and glucose-6-phosphate transporter deficiency (G6PT/SLC37A4) both cause neutropenia. Studies on a G6PC3 deficient mouse model by Dr Veiga-da-Cunha and Prof. Van Schaftingen and colleagues have shown that these two proteins collaborate to hydrolyze
The study addresses the problem that postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes have a higher incidence of bone breaks despite their often normal bone mineral density (BMD).
The investigators pursued two hypotheses, that:
1. 40-minute bout of downhill exercise will increase the CICP/CTX osteogenic
The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide. Obesity and its associated complications represent an enormous burden for obese individuals, their families, healthcare systems and societies. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a frequent and serious complication of obesity.
The primary aims of the pilot study are to streamline the infrastructure, machinery, and clinical experience with the balloon before the start of the randomized trial. The inclusion and exclusion criteria, and measurement points will be similar for the two studies.
The primary endpoints of the pilot
The study aims to determine highly specific personified predictors of response to the therapy by different groups of hypoglycemic drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, to develop on their basis a mathematical model that allows to objectify the choice of therapy for each patient, and
6.1 Visit 1 Consent Visit: Possible study participants will meet with study coordinator to review consent form. After enrollment into the study, a 6-minute walk will be performed (minimum required distance: 450 meters). Diet instructions will be given by a dietician about a no added salt diet, 120
Obese children have a higher incidence of vitamin D deficiency (VDD), which resulted from unhealthy life style such as less time outdoors, more sedentary time, imbalance of dietary intake. Adipose tissue is the storage position of vitamin D, and the storage formation include 25-OHD2 and 25-OHD3.
The leading cause of death in the world is due to cardiovascular events, which originate from coronary artery stenosis therefore it affects myocardial blood flow and finally may cause infarction. ST-Segment elevation is an indicator of infarction (STEMI) in electrocardiography (ECG) besides cardiac
Study design: A single-center pilot open-label randomized control trial. Population: The study will comprise a total of 60 subjects of both sexes, with pubertal stage ≥ 3 according to the Tanner stage, obese according to the IOTF criteria (International Obesity Task Force), diet naïve or with
Recruitment will be a prospective study in patients with body mass index (BMI) of 23.5-30 kg/m2, aged between 18 and 65 years old. Each patient will be preoperatively screened (including psychologist assessment) and evaluated by the study multidisciplinary team before recruitment. The study will
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by an increasing insensitivity of muscle, fat and liver cells to the hormone insulin. About 9% of the global population is affected by this condition and mortality risk is twice as high in individuals with diabetes compared to similar-aged people without
Accumulation of bioactive lipids such as diacylglycerol (DAG) and sphingolipids are one mechanism proposed to promote muscle insulin resistance. Recent data indicate these lipids are located in membranes, but the distribution and signaling of DAG and sphingolipids in specific cellular organelles
